Welcome to Trailing Friday!!!

Hello! I'm Kim; I live in the So Cal 'burbs with my twothree beautiful Weimaraners. We do everything together: take walks, hike trails, visit dog beaches, eat at restaurants, go wine tasting (!!!), stay in hotels... the list goes on.

This blog is a journal of those travels.

On occasion, I also breed Weimaraners under the Barrett Weimaraners kennel name. Breeding information can be found {here}.
